Ptychography is a novel means of label-free, high-contrast live cell imaging for easy cell tracking and growth analysis, even through plastic cell culture dishes. The high-contrast artefact free images are ideal for cell cycle and cell mass/volume analysis.
Working with PhaseFocus, we report novel applications of ptychography to biological samples, some of which have been published in Nature Scientific Reports 2013 and 2016 and the Journal of Diabetes Research.

The ptychographic image has high contrast in comparison to brightfield, differential interference contrast (DIC) and phase contrast imaging. |
The high contrast allows for clean segmentation of label-free cells for image analysis. |
